which bands you got? you can always choke um down for more resistance or use two bands per side. i used bands and chains for box squats monday night this week.
 
I have 2 light and 2 mini. Maybe I'll have to try choking them down. Unfortunately I don't have chains at the gym.
I suppose I could just buy the next set.

i would save the minis for bench..not that you cant squat with them but minis will "stretch out" a lot quicker then the bigger bands especially is you squat with them..

Make sure you are anchoring them around 2 DB's vs using it around the rack..the xtra 5 inches or so you get will make a world of difference in the tension..
If they are set up right you should be getting about 90-100lbs on the bottom with the light bands
